braze-inc/braze-android-sdk v36.0.0 on GitHub

Important

This release reverts the increase to the minimum Android SDK version of the Braze Android SDK from API 21 to API 25 introduced in 34.0.0. This allows the SDK to once again be compiled into apps supporting as early as API 21. Note that while we are re-introducing the ability to compile, we are not reintroducing formal support for <API 25, and cannot guarantee that the SDK will work as intended on devices running those versions.

If your app supports those versions, you should:

Validate your integration of the SDK works as intended on physical devices (not just emulators) for those API versions.
If you cannot validate expected behavior, you must either call disableSDK, or not initialize the SDK on those versions. Otherwise, you may cause unintended side effects or degraded performance on your end users’ devices.

Breaking

Fixed an issue where In-App Messages would cause a read on the main thread.
- BrazeInAppMessageManager.displayInAppMessage is now a Kotlin suspend function.
- If you do not call this function directly, you do not need to make any changes.
AndroidX Compose BOM updated to 2025.04.01 to handle updates in the Jetpack Compose APIs.

Fixed

Fixed a potential issue where the SDK could incorrectly calculate in-flight In-App Message requests and prevent new In-App Messages from being triggered.
Ensured that Content Cards, In-App Messages, Feature Flags, and Banners are cleared when calling Braze.wipeData().
Set default background of BannerView to transparent.
Fixed an issue where BrazeInAppMessageManager.activity would point to the previous activity when an Activity on the blocklist was active.
Fixed an issue where In-App Messages would continue consuming predictive back callbacks after the message was dismissed/closed.
- For more detail: The predictive back callback not removed when the In-App Message was closed via the close button (or any other non-back dismissal method). This caused two back button invocations to be needed to trigger the host Activity/Fragment's predictive back callback.

Added

Added a parameter enablePullToRefresh to ContentCardsList in Jetpack Compose to allow for disabling pull-to-refresh behavior.

Changed

Removed the deprecated announceForAccessibility in favor of accessibilityLiveRegion and contentDescription for accessibility TalkBack.
Removed any displayed In-App Messages when calling Braze.changeUser().
Modified BrazeActivityLifecycleCallbackListener to keep track of the latest activity in use.
- This is used to handle push permission prompts for various channels (ie. In-App Messages, Banners, etc).
- If you plan on using push permission prompts from a channel other than In-App Messages, you should make sure you're registering BrazeActivityLifecycleCallbackListener in your Application class.
Set allowFileAccess to false in BannerView.
